Not that we need to do a taxonomy of misogyny but "cheater who takes his mistress to Bergdorf's" strikes me as a fairly different flavor from "4chan stan"

Another reason we should keep daylight saving year-round is that it feels so ascetic and self-disciplined to wake up before sunrise even though it’s only like… 6:30

Truly despicable (but so common!) to claim Mamdani's policy platform is a Trojan horse to enact a hidden agenda of "sharia law"

Not to belabor a bad faith point but yeah my (quintessentially WASPy) family also had a ton of aunts and uncles who were old friends of my parents or vague cousins of my grandmother (including one matriarch whom all generations simply called "Aunt Shug")
